Loved HK, very exciting city! Especially loved travelling by ferry between the islands. A helpful note to other veggie travellers - I loved "Kung Tak Lam Shanghai Vegetarian Cuisine" - all dishes with egg clearly marked, and food was delish and cheap. Lovely restaurant with a great view,...more Loved HK, very exciting city! Especially loved travelling by ferry between the islands. A helpful note to other veggie travellers - I loved "Kung Tak Lam Shanghai Vegetarian Cuisine" - all dishes with egg clearly marked, and food was delish and cheap. Lovely restaurant with a great view, really clean. Add: 7th Floor of 1 Peking Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon (11am-11pm - I grabbed the business card!). I ate in 3 different vegetarian places while in HK and this was my favourite by far. Also can really recommend the Tai Chi class by HK museum of art - its free and a lovely way to start the day! 8am-9am on Mon, Weds, Thurs and Fri, or see the following link: http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/heritage/ck/he_ckcl_taic.jhtml Happy travels! close

Prepare a pair of confertable shoes. It requies a lot of walking. There are fences everywhere, sometimes it take a long walk up and down to just cross a street.

Greta city, was in Beijing first so was really interesting to see the contrast. Loved the huge new buildings and infrastructure along with the pretty gardens and huge bay full of million-dollar yachts and old style Chinese fishing boats. Wasn\'t there for that long so I can only imagine...more Greta city, was in Beijing first so was really interesting to see the contrast. Loved the huge new buildings and infrastructure along with the pretty gardens and huge bay full of million-dollar yachts and old style Chinese fishing boats. Wasn\'t there for that long so I can only imagine there is much more exploring to be done but a great first impression of people and place.close

Love Hong Kong (although I do have some family here) Great for shopping and lots to do for such a small place. Everything is incredibly cheap here. Trains and MTR are incredible easy to get round on (announcements and notices in English) Buses are little more complicated. Would probably suggest...more Love Hong Kong (although I do have some family here) Great for shopping and lots to do for such a small place. Everything is incredibly cheap here.

This hostel is small but clean. It\'s located in Chungking Mansions, in Tsim Sha Shui. It\'s great value for money. The staff are friendly and there is a tv in every room plus internet access. Chungking Mansions may not have the best rep but I\'ve stayed here on many occasions...more This hostel is small but clean. It\'s located in Chungking Mansions, in Tsim Sha Shui.

The locations is the best thing about this place, shopping, eating and transport are all on the doorstep!close
